You leave my mom out of this.

If there is a god, it will happen on live television.

This can backfire too though, since women assume any man coming to these events is just looking to hook up, so their guard is high. It’s also kind of shitty to make all extracurricular activities into dating events imo. People should have a space away from that pressure.

Honestly for me the best way to meet single is to have married friends who can play matchmaker. Of course that requires you to have friends, which brings us back to square one.

We already assume the actual start time is 20 minutes after the listed start time. Thank God for assigned seats.

My dissertation was funded by the US government, Greg. Can you milk me?

My beef with Dessalines is 10% his politics, and 90% that he’s a power hungry asshole who uses development donations and pays himself to mod and occasionally make a commit. My beef Nutomic is that he’s a transphobe and a liar.

Putting up with these clowns was one thing when there were no good alternatives, but now piefed is better than Lemmy in a bunch of ways.

Damn, a ban just for posting an article. Dude seems like all the criticism is slowly getting to him.

Lenis was kind of the source of the problem in many ways though.

Ah damn, I was a state actor who was going to smuggle in sleeper agents to perform sabotage and espionage in the US, but I can’t figure out how to create a fake social media profile. I admit defeat.

Sort of makes you wonder who is funding lemmy.ml

Pretty much the only other time I have seen any transphobia on Lemmy is from a .ml user who called someone a chaser for saying they were married to a femboy. These people don’t actually care about LGBT issues - they are just trolls who use it as a cudgel when it is convenient.

Thank mr skeltal

People are naive if they think the .ml admins and devs don’t intend to keep their thumb on the Lemmy scale. More instances need to take this threat seriously and defederate from .ml, and possibly even fork the Lemmy repos for when the devs inevitably decide they want to start building quiet exploits into the code. There are serious cyber security implications here that people are sleeping on

Harambe died for this

Wait are these cans not watertight?

Have you ever actually met any trans people? Because they don’t do that thing you said

As someone who has actually studied political science, they absolutely do not know their history well lmao. They are (shitty) Orthodox Marxists and react quite strongly to being shown anything outside of that 150 year old bubble.

They know a few core historical anecdotes that MLs cling to. But their knowledge breaks down extremely quickly when you try to reduce political science and statecraft to academic first principles, even when those principles intersect strongly with their ML orthodoxy.

They are campists. They form their philosophy around relitigating cold war drama more than anything to do with actual socialism.

My bans from lemmy.ml have all come from literally arguing that there are a solid 150 years worth of academic ideas building on Marx and that taking Marxist orthodoxy as the exclusive socialist dogma in that context is simply ignorant.

I am starting to think that they hate revisionist socialists more than actual capitalists, because it seeks to deny them the thing they really want, which is a justification for violence and totalitarianism.

How are you supposed to fuck without some fucking beans?
